"This match is a good opportunity for Trapani!" When Rossi was optimistic about the home team, Lombardo didn't nod his head, just listened quietly, and when Damico asked him what he thought, Lombardo said this first.

Both Damiko and Rossi said they didn't understand.

"Bielsa needs to show his football philosophy, we all knew he was going to take 343 in this game, Trapani didn't play well in the previous rounds......" Lombardo said.

"They're playing really well and I love watching them!" Rossi interjects to interrupt Lombardo.

"But they didn't get more victories, people only judged him as a hero by success or failure, and it was not good that he couldn't lead Trapani to victory!" Lombardo is speaking of a universal view.

"He's vacillating in his selection and hiring, and I think that's a key factor in Trapani's results......" Lombardo added.

Rossi also had to nod, Bielsa is true, there are too many changes, in their opinion, a mature team should have a stable strategy and a relatively fixed main lineup, but Bielsa in their eyes at least for the time being, Trapani has not yet shown.

'Palermo are a good opponent, not weak, and they are derby opponents, so I think it's a real test of Bielsa and I think he should take it and build confidence for the players and the fans!' That's what Lombardo originally meant.

Damiko clapped his hands, indicating that Lombardo was speaking well!

"And what about the results?! Mr. Lombardo, are you more optimistic about your old club?! Damiko smiled charmingly.

"Of course, I'm still bullish on them, they'll win Palermo and go on the right path!" Lombardo said firmly.

……

Lombardo and Rossi didn't think right, who said Bielsa didn't have a fixed tactical idea, he did, that is, attacking, non-stop attacking.

As soon as Banty's whistle sounded, Palermo, who kicked off first, was frantically pressed by Trapani, passing the ball backwards, it was useless, Bielsa's team would not keep it at all, and directly pressed to continue to press, to be honest, Colantono didn't expect Bielsa to be really a second-rate, and he didn't consider Palermo's tactics at all, so he pressed like this.

Colantano's idea of competing with Trapani in midfield is not too correct, because Bielsa's tactical core is to fight for space rather than for the ball, and if he can't control the ball, it's not a big problem for Bielsa, he just wants to suppress Palermo's passing space.

If there is a pressing, allowing Palermo to lose the ball in the high press, and Trapani counterattacks on the spot, it will not be better!

Palermo had fallen into such a cliché from the start, and it was a mistake for Corantono to always try to control the ball, so it didn't take long for Palermo to have their first shot on goal.

Palermo's players were forced to move forward, but there was a clear disconnect between their midfield and attack, with Trapani defending well and quickly snatching the ball back before attacking.

Trapani was the first to get into the groove to Hugo's pleasure, Bielsa put out a strange formation and did not annoy Hugo, it is true that he knew that Trapani's defense now values individual ability, but what's wrong with that, chain defense and heads-up are both defenses, and whoever can hold it is the best.

Corantono's scramble for midfield?! Sorry, the game has been taken over by Trapani, and Corantono was in a hurry to change his tactics on the sidelines, allowing the Palermo players to recycle, typical of the Italian coach's practice, the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Trapani dominated possession of the ball, under their strong pressure, Palermo retreated again and again, the space was compressed, but Trapani still created a few good chances in the past 20 minutes, it was a pity that there was no goal, Vucinic and Ballack both had good header opportunities, and Henry also had a trademark arc shot, but unfortunately it was not able to score.

Palermo didn't even have a shot on goal!

'They've been like this lately, they tend to take the initiative but they can't score goals, Toney's role is irreplaceable, the impact of his absence is too great!' Lombardo shook his head as he commented in the live broadcast room.

Yes, this is the norm of Trapani, sometimes you can occupy a stage advantage, but you can't score, this scene is similar to the 2002 World Cup Argentina!

Why is Rossi optimistic about Palermo, because Palermo can play counter-attacks and kill Trapani, and Palermo's defense is good.

'Thierry Henry can't play as a centre-forward, he needs space!' Rossi said.

There are some things he didn't say in his heart, he couldn't understand Trapani's transfer, such as why he let Adriano go, he must be better than Henry in the center striker!

Serie A is different from the Premier League, the Premier League will always give Henry more space, but Serie A, even if everyone is poor, the use of defensive space is very good, why do Serie A teams like to get a high school forward, because the center striker works, it is a battering ram.

Trapani's players tried to find space with small crosses on several occasions, but it was difficult to succeed and Palermo were determined to defend, making things difficult.

The anxious Trapani players began to cross, and Beckham's lateral movement was not very useful, so he had to keep crossing, Vucinic and Thierry Henry both went to the box, and Ballack also cut in from time to time, but it was still useless.

"That's not going to happen!" Hugo is starting to miss Tony!

The bored Hugo began to teach Angelo and Julie Adam, constantly explaining Bielsa's football tactics, the tactics are good, but the key is to score a little luck.

The time of the half was soon over, Palermo stubbornly drew with Trapani, the home team's Palermo fans felt a little lucky about this result, but they were even more dissatisfied with Corantono's tactics, completely limited by the opponent's high pressing, the team had no passion and no attack, and there was not even a shot on goal in the first half!

Losing is terrible, but Palermo fans don't like the fact that the team doesn't attack against their rivals, and it's even more irritating to look like they're scolding.

So when Palermo were a little embarrassed in the first half and cleared the ball to the touchline, there were some sporadic boos at home.

On the other hand, the Trapani fans, even if the team failed to score, played well, which made everyone very satisfied, cheering, and everyone firmly believed that it was only a matter of time before the team scored.

"The team at Crantono is terrible, they don't even have a successful counter-attack, they have just over 20 per cent of the possession, they don't have any shots, they don't look passionate, they foul a lot!" Lombardo commented.

"You're still insisting that Trapani will win, right?!" Damiko asked with a smile.

"Of course, if you look at the first half, you should know that Palermo can't cause problems for the opposition! Colantano deployed five midfielders, but they were unhelpful in attack, did Amaury touch the ball?! Lombardo mocked Palermo,

Rossi won't choose Palermo again now, and at home, Palermo came into form much later than Trapani, maybe they didn't go in at all, which is bad.

"If it were you, how would you choose to adjust?!" When Rossi and Lombardo finished complaining about Palermo, Damico asked them both.

"There should be more helpers for Amaury, at least the distance between them should be very close, and the counterattack will come up with an idea, it is not realistic to rely on Amaury alone in front." Rossi said.

Palermo had a problematic set-up in the first half, with Amaury being close to midfield for a while as he was aggressive in returning, but Trapani's backline was able to keep a good distance from the midfield.

For another period of time, he kept Amaury farther away from the midfield and tried to prevent the overall pressure of the opponent's formation, but there was no one around Amaury, so it was not suitable in any case.
